The price is terrible. It's a full price Switch, a full priced download, and an overpriced case. Now, if they're gonna run some decent promos during the holidays with this bundle, maybe I'll change my thinking. But, there is no way I'd buy this thing at $380, unless I had no other way to get a Switch...... of course, that's why they're doing it. Cuz Switch is still hard to get your hands on.

I wouldn't say terrible. It evens out to what the price should be without any discounts. The bundles places like Gamestop force upon people are what I would call terrible deals. 

300 - Switch

60 - game

20 - screen protector and case

Yes, the Gamestop bundles are ridiculous.  But, this is just a slightly less bad version of that.  Switch is hard to get. So, they're making it so that anybody that wants one to play Zelda , for example, will end up with a $60 game and $20 accessories that they may not want.  

I will give you that terrible is probably not the right adjective.  I'll say it this way - it ain't a good deal.

Yeah definitely ewww at the digital download, they're charging you full retail for the game might as well throw in the physical copy.

In the case of the Switch, I'd really rather have the physical game over a download. Especially for a game like Mario that will hold on to its resale value.

For me, it's in the case of every console, not limited to the Switch.
